Notes from the Test Kitchen
You can prep the avocado ahead and drizzle it with lime juice to prevent it from browning. You can marinate the salmon for up to 24 hours in the refrigerator, so feel free to prep the night before! Properly cooked salmon is 145°F at the thickest point. It should easily flake apart with a fork.
